closing the gender gap. closing the gap after the first couple of debates. nearly four years have passed since the deadly commercial airline crash, since we have had any commercial airline crashes in the united states. some airline experts are warning, it is not time to celebrate! that is all ahead unless breaking news changes everything. this is "studio b." first from fox at 3:00 in new york city, no more nice guy. the day after both nominees traded jokes with the charity roast in new york it is back to tough rhetoric. it is the final lap. governor romney is set to join the running mate in florida tonight, v.p. nominee, paul ryan, is already in the sunshine state and going after the president on libya. he accused president obama of stonewalling over the attack on the consulate in benghazi. he said on a radio show and i

quote, "his response has been inconsistent, misleading and for more than a month later we still have more questions than answers." the president himself accused romney campaign of using libya to score political points. president obama stuck to the domestic affairs at a rally today aimed at the female vote which helped push him to victory in 2008. >> the right to make your decision about your health. the right to be treated fairly and equally in the workplace. governor romney wants to take us policies more suited to the 1950s. >>shepard: governor romney is closing the gender gap and national pops show how tight this is. the real clear politics average of national polls shows the

nominees are separated by .1 percent. now, carl cameron is in daytona beach during bike week. >>carl: romney campaign is confident what they say is "safe." there will always be polls showing the president closing the edge. this is where it is demographically representative of the country, the same as ohio. it is very important to mitt romney. he assumes he is going to win florida. it is leaning pink. as a consequence, when you look at the entire electoral map, they have a map where they do the entire electoral college and it is 206 potential for mitt romney and 201 for president obama out of 270 needed so 130 plus up for grabs.

bike week is an interesting contrast in image. mitt romney will hold a rally with paul ryan in the middle of bike week which is normally if the spring in florida and they have added recently the fall rally, 500,000 bikers are expected to come through the area so lots of leather and harley and in a state that mitt romney needs to win. it gives us an opportunity to talk about the i-4 corridor where romney has been working so hard for the republican votes. to the extent either campaign has been reduced, it is because both the president and mitt romney have dedicated their time to debate preparation. they are calculating they can do a number of rallies but being ready if the debate and knocking it out of the park when the audiences are in the 50 million or 60 million rain is a better

investment of time than hanging out with bikers. >>shepard: now it is back to serious campaigning? >>carl: he will work the weekend planning for the, or prepping for the debate on monday night and then the race becomes one of grass roots organizing, the get out of vote effort. this summer obama campaign spent $70 million a month and $23 was to media advertising. about $30 million a month was setting up offices. they have 120 offices in ohio. dozens of offices in florida. the romney campaign is taking a different approach. they did not do a lot of organizational stuff in the summer but working on closing a three week get-out-the-vote blitz with will months of phone calls and door knock teams headed out and a massive increase in the air and war tv advertising and now added $12

million a week in ads on top of what is an absolute barrage here. florida is the number one state in the country for ads and 166 million has been spent here on commercials. obama, romney, democrat party and republican party and the super pac's on both sides. ohio comes in second at $160 million but it is a smaller state in terms population. >>shepard: the florida media market is so expensive with the big markets down there, miami, tampa, orlando. now the next debate is all about phone policy. the candidates will continue to battle outside of the back-and-forth over the attack in libya that let our ambassador and three others dead, the president has repeatedly defended his foreign policy decisions including the ones to end the war in iraq and the killing of the top terrorists including osama bin laden and

governor romney has accused the president for apologizing for america. wendell is on this side of the story. the president is defending himself over governor romney's accusations today. >> he asked the governor to spell out what he would do differently especially in iran and suggested the only way to get tougher on that country is to go to war, something the president knows doesn't sell well. he has pointed to israeli officials who say the u.s. has never been more supportive despite the president's personal relationship with the prime minister. for his part, governor romney invokes the reagan mantra of "peace through strength," but although he talks tougher about iran some say the bluster would only last until the first briefing by the c.i.a. and the joint chiefs of staff. >> governor romney if he becomes president will be briefed bit c.i.a. and joint chiefs who will lay out their risk to reward ratios on the issue of what, in fact, an american strike could

accomplish and what the complexities are and his political advisors will remind him that at a time when he is trying to repair the american who which is bride or -- which s priority one, two, three, four, and five, the last thing we need is a spike in oil prices or a plunge in financial markets. >> we are stuck in a middle east we cannot fix and the obligations or options are between a migraine and a root canal. >>shepard: and how are the rise for mitt romney explained? >>reporter: some stay it has to do more with obama administration's fumbles including the attack in benghazi that killed the ambassador and three other persons. here is more on that. >> the real question why the polls are narrowing on national security and handling of national security, that goes

more to the question of whether obama is losing rather than whether romney is winning. this unbelievable fiasco is coverup, scandal, in benghazi, that is hurting the president. there is no news outlet in the country that has been able to front for him and say it was well handled. >> but much of what romney said about the president's policies amount to complaints not alternatives. >>shepard: thank you from the state department. the president last night again defended the white house response to the deadly attack in libya in a taping with the aidala -- "daily show," they said the president is putting together the facts. >> no one is more interested in figuring this out than i am. when a tragic event like this happens on the other side of the world immediately a bunch of intelligence starts coming in and people try to put together what happened.

when i have, i always try to make sure we get the facts and figure out what want wrong. we are still in that process. >>shepard: the ambassador to the united nations said on the sunday shows following the attack, that it stemmed from a roast over a youtube video. with us now is republican new jersey assemblyman, the highest ranking member of the republican caucus in that assembly and a democrat who is a former advisor to senator john kerry and senator kennedy. >> this is all about the states, there is always the possibility that a guy could win the possible and not win the electoral college but i know you watch polls closely. i don't understand how the poll in iowa could be right, that the president is up seven or eight points and i don't understand that the poll in north carolina could be right, that governor romney is up that much. what is it with the polls this

year? >>guest: well, i agree. >>shepard: iowa has not been won by that margin in my life? >>guest: right. there are two things. one could be mobile phones and the other is not on get too deep in the weeds, screen. who are likely voters? everyone has a different set of questions. we know the town out will be lower than 2008 likely voters are at a premium, who can turn people out? determining that in a screen to get that person through to allow them to answer the questions is the difference in the polls. >>guest: polling has changed, pollsters will tell you that. momentum is the important part of this poll. if you see a movement toward mitt romney that is more important than the specific numbers. >>shepard: down in florida, mitt romney is just taking florida believe he will win it,

spending tons of money there, but, florida is as close as anything in the nation, there is not half a percent between the two guys? >>guest: that takes me to the point of the momentum. when you put mitt romney next to the president he shows his strength as a leader. he had done this also if reflecting on domestic policy and the economic situation and foreign policy. the president, unfortunately, seems like a nice guy but he seems weak. the public is picking up on that. there is concern that he doesn't have the strength to continue forward. >>shepard: governor romney will get the panhandle and all those counties and the president will get miami and broward and palm beach but the i-4 corridor, how do you get that i-4 corridor today? >>guest: any state that president obama is even in or a point up or down my money is on obama. no one has a better ground game

that president obama's campaign and a great ground game is worth three to five points on election day. if you back it out and look at the early voting strategy, many places they have two, three, four, five times as many people who have voted if obama than romney going into election day. election day now is the end of the campaign. the beginning has long ago started. they is all these votes in the bank. i like that cushion going into november. >>guest: enthusiasm is on the side of romney. that is important because the voters are motivated on the republican side. obama supporters are weakening. >>shepard: thank you, good to see you both. >> we are getting new polls and we will have them tonight on the fox report with our coverage starting before 9:00 eastern for the final debate with bret baier and megyn kelly with complete

news. >> after years of falling prices and foreclosures we are getting more signs the housing market is finally starting to come back. it looks good. the new report that could show what homeowners can expect in the next few years is coming up. last week the taliban tried to assassinate a teen girl who wanted more education. rica's fa. bring out chicken broccoli alfredo. or best-ever meatloaf. go to campbellskitchen.com for recipes, plus a valuable coupon.

>>shepard: it could be going. a new sign, another new sign that fewer americans are out buying homes but it is not all bad news for housing market. according to realtors homes fell from a two-year high in august and fewer homes are on the market, and sales of the homes are still up, 11 percent from this time last year. now, despite occasional month-to-month set backs we are experiencing a genuine recovery.

and now, gerri willis is with us, and there is important news on home prices. >>gerri: what people really care about, home prices, up 11.3 percent year-over-year, which means the biggest gain since november of 2005. median home prize is $183,000 way below where we were but it is coming off the bottom. a lot people talk about the inventory and that is important because the banks have a lot of houses on their books. >>shepard: it is your belief that the bottom of the housing market is in the rear view? >>gerri: we are seeing or have seen, all markets are different but the housing markets have seen the bottom or on the bottom or on the way up. >>shepard: it is time to get? >>gerri: the markets can turn and turn quickly. how many times have you heard people say, boy i sure wish i got into (a) the stock market or

(b) the housing market, (c), you name it. i was too scared. i am trying to say, the mortgage rates are at 3.5 percent, okay? housing prices are it will down. the height was $230,000 on median level where above where we are, if you looking for opportunity, if you want to make money, if you want a legacy for your kids, go, baby. that is my view. >>shepard: i like the idea. it is nice to have something positive. the girl the taliban shot because they said girls have a right to go to school is now able to stand with assistance but it is great news. the 14-year-old pakistani activist is able to communicate by writing. british and pakistani officials worked to fly her to the hospital in england after the taliban repeated their vow to kill her. doctors say she cannot speak but she has the potential for a full

recovery. the taliban hitmen targeted her on the school bus for promoting "we are thinking." she is an advocate to women's education rights. the last three years have been the safest for airlines since world war ii and that could mean we are not as safe as we think. why is that? what? next, the experts say a lack of fatal crashes has led to poor oversight in the air. in america tay we're running out of a vital resource we need

>>shepard: knock on wood when you hear this. 3 1/2 years have passed since the last deadly airline crash in the united states. the longest stretch since the commercial aviation boom after world war ii. industry analysts are raining on

the parade say it could lead to safety officials not watching the ball. last year the f.a.a. missed a deadline to issue new pilot training rules. congress set the deadline after the last fatal airline crash in 2009. remember, an airplane plunged into a house in buffalo, new york, and killed all 49 on board and a man in the home. we have seen plenty of chose calls. including an incident at reagan national airport in washington, dc. aviation officials say controllers allowed three commuter jets to fly too close. now we have a former managing director of the national transportation safety board, now a senior vice president at o'neals and associate, a lobbying and consulting firm in washington, dc. 3 1/2 years is great and now i am supposed to be worried?

>>guest: the last 3 1/2 years have been extraordinary. we have a good system in place. but there are still a lot of challenges. >>shepard: specifically, what kind? >>guest: well, for instance, probably the most dangerous part of the flight is when you are on the runway. runway incursions or runway congestion is still a very serious problem and tracking planes on the runways presents all sorts of issues. we are not building new runways, enough of them, and we not building new airports so it will only get more crowded at each airport. >>shepard: computer systems we have heard about for as long as i have been in the business that can manage ground traffic better than we can but they are not online. why? >>guest: it is a challenging environment. we are doing much boater. aviation electronics are

superior. midair collisions are a thing of past. collisions in the ground, we have ground avoidance collision systems that are spectacular. we have airports that pick out a wind shear and pilots can avoid them. we have the makings of a very good system going forward but it needs help. >>shepard: there are roadways or interstate highways for planes in the air and they is long talked about doing away with this because of computers and technology so it is not really necessary but they cannot get that done. what is the hold up? >>guest: that is tied into the next generation of air traffic control. aircraft can plot a position and take the shortest or the best route to avoid weather but we of just not there with the new tracking equipment.

we are using g.p.s. in many cases. we need an entirely new air traffic control system. that will cost a ton of money. the f.a.a. needs to be able to plan more than just a couple of years in advance. they need to be able to budget and plan for the massive roths five and seven years out. that is not part of the process now. >>shepard: thank you, peter, great to see you. >> there are new polls that show governor romney is gaining with women. the battle for their vote continues. shear what i heard a very well placed strategist tell me: if form gets the women's vote he gets the white house. period. what happening in the polls? we will get to that. the wheat in every mini-whea has gotta be just right.

>>shepard: i am shepard smith and this is "studio b" at the bottom the hour. governor romney is shown to be gaining ground in the battle if women voters. according to the latest gallup poll he has pulled to from one point of the president with women. that is still in the margin of

error. according to a democratic pollster, governor romney has gained support among women in most polls after the first couple of debates. now the news from ed henry at the white house. it sound like the president has a new line attack in the effort to get the women's vote? >>reporter: he was in virginia today, a stronger emphasis on social issues as planned parenthood is featured in a new obama video how they believe mitt romney would take away the right to choose and the president saying similar things and speaking less of the economy and libya. he is highlighting social issues and reaching to women on women's health security. also, even inventing a new disease calls romnesia. >> i am not a medical doctor but i do want to go over some of the certain toms -- symptoms because

i don't want anyone else to catch it. if you say you are for equal pay for equal work, but you keep refusing to say whether you would sign a bill to protect equal pay for equal work you might have romnesia. >>reporter: romney responded women to not have amnesia over economic security saying women have not forgot were how we have suffered the last four years with higher taxes, and higher unemployment and record poverty and president obama failed to put forward a second-term agenda and when you do not have a plan to run you scoop to scare tactics. that is from the romney campaign. the obama campaign will hold the edge, they think, on the female voters by focusing on health security and obama is saying, no, it is the economy. >>shepard: part of the romney ride in polls can be attributed

to the women's vote. >>guest: no doubt, but, also, nationally, if you look at fox polling, in september, the president had a 14-point edge among weapon, 53 percent to 39 percent and fast forward to october, the debates got going and then only 8 point. the bottom line, this is partly a demographic battle. mitt romney has had a strong edge among male voters and the president has a strong edge among the female voters. the more romney closes the gap the better shot he has of taking the white house. >>shepard: thank you, ed. the worst bombing to hit beirut in seven yearscying eight people in the capital including, among them, a top intelligence officer connected to an antisyrian political movement. according to multiple reports witnesses in the christian neighborhood known for their

shops, and clubs and cafes say the car bomb exploded just as many parents were picking their kids up from school. it hurt dozens and destroyed multiple buildings. a number of officials are pointing their fingers at syria. the leave -- lebanese investigation is pointing to syria and hezbollah. a top syrian official today condemned the attack and called it a terrorist act. jonathan hunt is at the deck with us this afternoon. jonathan, what does syria have to gain from this kind of attack, if, in fact, syria is responsible? >>jonathan: there is no official confirmation but what syria would gain is quite simply silencing opponents and critics. one those opponents and critics

was a brigadier general who you see here in this video. he was killed today. he was involved in an investigation of a recent string of syrian-backed bomb plots. he was also involved, as you said, in the investigation of the 2005 bombing in brut that killed former prime minister now, hezbollah has been implicated in that. there is no confirmation as to who did this but the former prime minister's son who is a former prime minister himself was asked would he thought was behind this in a tv interview and he said "bashar al-assad," the president of syria. no doubt in his mine. >>shepard: we have been getting warnings there were fears this conflict in syria would spill over. is this part of that. we have seen the problems between turkey and syria and now

west from syria you get into lebanon and in the east, hezbollah is strong. in the southern part of lebanon, bordering israel, hezbollah is very strong. they will take advantage of any chaos there, and they may also be tempted to head out if they see bashar al-assad regime crumbling. a couple of days ago the u.n. peacen provide warned the crisis cannot remain in syrian borders forever. it will be addressed or overflow and be all consuming. we may have seen one of the early acts in what could become the all consuming regional conflict. >>neil: and now, our guest has worked over there and lived over there and written a book about it. >>guest: it is destroying the typical theme of goodbye and bad guy because bashar al-assad is a moderate and those fighting against him are fundamentalist

so what is happening, bashar al-assad is an ally that supports both the shia elements and is supported by iran and he has been opposed by a block of sunni rebels and hundreds of small gang-like militias who do not have political or strategic structure. it is chaos. what we are seeing now is escalating into a higher legal of legal assassination. >>shepard: all this stuff is going on as the border with turkey that is concerning in the broad sense and we all know how easy it is to tip lebanon. it is a very difficult place, we call hezbollah a terrorist organization, but it is also a big part of the government there and in the southern part of lebanon without hezbollah there are no services. >>guest: keep in mind that turkey is facilitating the entry of supplies to the rebels you but at the same time reacting against a group that was lobbying shells into turkey.

there is no real functioning government in many parts of syria and like libya has on different militias, there is no horse to bet on yet. >>shepard: so, it feels like what we are doing is just sitting here, watching the middle east deteriorate and it almost look like the rest of the world is helpless in this matter. >>guest: go back 100 years and that was the middle east, a group of tribes that either gathered together or fought depending on their needs and you are seeing a fractured area put together by the british falling into its original small pieces and because we are not directly involved, we are standing back and watching, there is no winner, no guy we will bet on to come failure, so we will see more of a mess and more regional players taking the forefront. >>shepard: and saudi arabia&qatar have bigger and more capacity.

it was quiet what happened in bahrain but saudi arabia was able to contain things. whether they can do that in the long run is anyone's guess but --. >>guest: keep in mine, arab spring seeped like a dictator being tossed out and the people rose up and there is democracy. no, grouped like al qaeda think of this as christmas, getting support and different militias, it is volatile and dangerous and we have not as a country dove into that to make sense of this. guess would the major supporters of al qaeda and the groups are? that is more scary. people will double down and triple down supporting more than one group if one comes to power at least they are friendly to them. >>shepard: joy. >>guest: more stuff for me to write about.

>>shepard: bret baier is hosting a special report, special investigation on the attack in benghazi tonight at 10:00 eastern, 9:00 in oxford right here on the fox business network. the latest poll numbers are telling a lot of different stories now. some have governor romney up. others give president obama the lead. and we have the breakdown by the swing states. what can we learn from the contradictions? chris wall has weighs in next. are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today. till you finish your vegetables.

cameron that governor romney took the lead for the first time in the real clear politics electoral map. what to make of the different numbers? we bring in host of "fox news sunday," contribution from chris wall has. i look at the poll from iowa and it looks to be wrong and north carolina is skewed the other way, for the president. i don't get it. >>chris: it is confusing. if you believe the gallup number which was seven points today and now it is six points and you look at the "wall street journal" that today has in iowa and wisconsin obama leading by six to eight points, someone has to be wrong. romney could not be leaded by six points naturally and losing by six to eight in iowa and wisconsin, they are not that different. someone is wrong. looking at the trends, and that

is what you have to do, clearly romney has closed the gap. whether he is ahead or behind and the polls tell different stories it is closer race nationally and it is fair to say looking at the trends that romney is doing better in the southeast part of the country, the three swing states: florida, virginia, north carolina, and could be pulling out of north carolina not because he will lose but because he will win and he wants to shift resources to other states. talking to the obama people they have now drawn the line, the firewall, around three states: ohio, iowa, and wisconsin. that is the midwestern fire fall. if they can win the three states they can win the election and now they thing they have a lead it is getting smaller but not in the "wall street journal" poll but other polls it is getting tighter. that is the new firewall for the obama campaign. >>shepard: i heard that from them, as well, and i look at it,

iowa and nevada balance each other because they have the same number of electoral votes you get one that is a balance. but the national polls show the trend is romneys. it is. the trend is in romney's direction but the states all that matter. >> if you want to boil it down to one state it is ohio. cow lose ohio if you are romney? yes but then you have to pick up michigan or pennsylvania which are more democratic. for obama if romney picks up ohio and, say, he wins florida and north carolina and virginia he only has to win one more. it could be new hampshire or nevada or colorado, or iowa or wisconsin, if he wins ohio he has a good chance to be the next

president. >>shepard: the idea pulling out of north carolina i remember two daze before the election when al gore decide not to go home to nashville because no gore ever lost tennessee and he lost tennessee and if he won he would be our president. >>chris: i don't think skit likely he will lose north carolina and win virginia and florida. if he loses north carolina he will lose more states in the southeast. you only have limited resources and a limited number of places to put them if he cannot care north carolina he is in more trouble than just there. we have foreign policy debate on monday but we will not wait, we will do it sunday. we will have dick durbin and senator graham debating libya and syria and iran and all those depressing things you were talking about. and that was interesting. and we are startled by the

numbers and we will have the head guy at gallup to try to explain to us how he could be seven points ahead nationally but romney losing in the key swing states. we will try to make sense of that on sunday. >>shepard: check your local listings. we have new polls this afternoon, they have all the swing states involved tonight, on the fox report. more than 40 years after a string of gruesome murders linked to charles manson and the followers, police say there could be more victims out there. why they are now looking into more than a dozen unsolved killings with potential links to that man.

>>shepard: police are locking into a dozen unsolved killings that could have links to the man son family. more than four decades after a court sentenced man son and followers it life in prison for the murders of the pregnant actress and six others. cops say the homicides all took place fear his family hangouts around los angeles and they trying to get their hands on a series of audio tapes from 1969 that they believe could provide more clues, coming from this guy, a man son follower, who, too, is serving a life sentence, tex watson. what do we know of the tapes, trace? >>trace: hours of conversations that he had with his attorney back in 1969. he was very forthcoming about his involvement with charles manson and at the least, police believe they can get a better understanding and more insight

about what the man son family was doing at the time of the killing. a judge first said the los angeles police department could have the tapes but watson appealed and now it is tied up in courts. whatever is on the tapes be the man who covered this back in the day, he says he thinks there is more to the story. >> i am not at all surprised this could be more murders. we all suspected it at the time, where is the rest of this? we did not believe this just happened one time. >>trace: charles manson believed they would be blamed on black militants and that would spark a race war that he said was prophecy in the beatles song "helter skelter." >>shepard: tex watson, why is he fight the release of the tapes he is in prison for life. >>trace: he believes the police would make them public and he said that would cause more pain and harm to the victims. now, he says he is not trying to

get these sealed. in fact, in a court affidavit, he said he knows police think that he talked about additional murders but he claim he didn't saying in the eyes of justice, i am willing for the los angeles police department to listen to the tapes, to satisfy their investigation but not take possession because they are not their profit. the los angeles police department has not specifically told us exactly what they are looking for or why they won't just listen to the tapes to see if it helps the investigation. >>shepard: thank you, trace. a field goal kick that had everyone doing a double take. a record-setting kick from a player in...high school. that make kids happy. and even fewer that make moms happy too. with wholesome noodles and bite sized chicken, nothing brings you together like chicken noodle soup from campbell's.
